1. As a Met fan I tip my cap because he made me happy when I watched Game 6 one mistake will lead to consequences, but doesn’t have to be a bad one

2. Meanwhile, in Dayton.

3. As a Mets fan, sending our prayers to his family.

4. There are few things more despicable than making a good person trying their best a scapegoat.

5. You'll be deeply missed Bill Buckner. God bless your soul.

6. Now people wanna show love? Fake mothafuckas

7. It so sad how when any brings up Bill Buckner they think of his error. He was a great player. RIP Bill Buckner.

8. respect to that man

9. Red Sox fans don’t act
   You wanted to kill him yourself

10. He was not to blame for loosing the world series !!! Bob Stanley was the one to blame !!! RIP Bill Buckner !!!

11. The problem was, like he said, it was shown once or twice a week. That's ridiculous. The media sucks sometimes.

12. Yeah because the Red Sox lost the series because of ONE! damn play .. seriously people .. Bill you deeply deserve to be in eternal peace and I certainly hope you are 🌹

13. You could do everything perfectly, but the cruel reality is that everyone will only remember the one time you didn’t.

14. Gracias por todo Bill.
    Te extrañaremos.

15. Fuck Boston Fans

16. You can tell which news agencies have class and which ones don't by who plays the famous clip and who doesn't.

17. RIP BILL BUCKNER…. THIS MAN WAS TREATED HORRIBLY BECAUSE OF A GAME… LET THAT SINK IN….A GAME

18. In 1986, they said  this play would be in his obit
    It is

19. Life long Met fan here. Bill Buckner was a great player and absolutely to me will be remembered as that and that ONLY. He was unfairly shut out and judged because of one play who played with injuries the entire series. The man left his heart on the field. He earned my respect as a decent person and an excellent and outstanding player. RIP .

20. Rip

21. Billy Buck was my Cub hero when I was a kid…………R I P

22. We are decidedly poorer for Mr. Buckner's walk with us having seen its end. I believed that far too much was made of that single incident which is decades in the rearview mirror. Now, Paradise is Bill Buckner's for eternity. So long, Bill Buckner, we hardly knew ye.

23. 🤫…I renamed my penis….Bill Buckner…. because of the balls between my legs…🤗

24. Sports fans. Worse than Trump fans.

25. Thanks to Bill Buckner for getting us there in 1986.If it wasn't for him.We couldn't have gotten to that point .RIP to two players who always played the game the way it should have been played.Buckner and Hendu.Two great teammates and classy guys.

26. Why didn't the report mention the other teams he played for. I'm in Chicago and he played for the Cubs for 8 years. Major League Baseball does not start and end with New York and Boston.

27. How does dementia alone kill someone?

28. It was lovely of ABC to highlight his failure in death, pretty disgusting.

29. The city of Boston should be ashamed of themselves being the crybabies they were and how they treated this man! RIP Bill

30. Rip☠️

31. John McNamara was to a certainty the reason the Reds lost in 1986.. What the hell was Dave Stapleton doing on the bench in late innings of this game when he came in for Buckner in the other games? Anyone ever try maneuvering on a wonky ankle? And the Boston fans who heckled Buckner were Southie losers anyways.. I guarantee half are dead now and the other half are on meth. Godspeed Bill

32. His pain is over.

33. Legends never die. RIP Bill Buckner

34. 🤫…that ball went thru his legs in game 6….🤫…that doesn't explain game 7…..and in closing…..f##k Tom Brady…😳

35. Screw Boston, he was a great Dodger!

36. Wow, never heard of him before this (not into baseball) but my heart is heavy because abcNEWS shouldn't have mentioned anything that would bring up sore memories, especially since they had that statement from his wife and the other MLB player. They could've honored his legacy in so many beautiful ways.

37. Rest In Heaven Bill Buckner My Condolences To Bill Family And Friends

38. He’s my uncle I love him so much and I will miss him…just know he’s in a better place, he wasn’t doing so good

39. It's sad and horrible even in his death the media cant seem to celebrate his great career but focus on that mistake in the world series. I hate that the media is so dam negative today. We all know the story talk about his full body of play in career not just this one play.

40. If after two were out the Red Sox relief pitchers hadn't given up three straight singles and thrown a costly wild pitch and if the Red Sox manager, who knew Buckner had an injured ankle, hadn't sent him out there to play first in that inning then the ball would never have gone between his legs. And losing that game only tied the series and sent it to Game 7. So how come Bill Buckner got all the blame?

41. Boston takes sports very seriously. It's not your fault, Bill. We will never forget you.

42. The hecklers are probably the ones that gave him dimensia.

43. A great ball player . Saw him play when he was with the dodgers a few times down at Riverfront stadium .

44. Some people are dicks

45. Look at Bill’s stats for that season. He was a major reason they got there.. The ball pass under his legs hurt, but we had a great year… Thank you for those memories Bill….

46. Curb ur enthusiasm lol the best episode

47. RIP Bill. You handled everything like a gentleman and should never have been defined by one play. One of the better players in the game, over 2700 hits and hardly ever struck out.

48. Buckner was a great player

49. REST IN PEACE BART STARR

50. A GREAT BASEBALL PLAYER, MY HE REST IN PEACE.
